City on Zuculini:

Bio: First introduced on the club’s 2014 pre-season tour, Bruno Zuculini turned heads and had fans’ hearts beating faster with a string of impressive and composed performances in the centre of the park.

Nominally a defensive midfielder, when the 22-year-old does venture forward he has an eye for the spectacular goal, and announced himself to City supporters around the globe with a fine finish against Sporting Kansas City for the first goal of the USA tour.

One of a pair of footballing brothers, Bruno followed elder sibling Franco by taking the first steps of his footballing career in Racing Club’s academy in his homeland, graduating to the first team at the tender age of 16.

Over the following four years, he clocked up 92 senior appearances for Racing while representing his country at u20 level, scoring twice in eight appearances.

Viewed as one for the future, Zuculini made his Wembley debut in the Community Shield against Arsenal before being sent out on loan to Valencia and Cordoba in La Liga to gain extra experience for the remainder of the 2014/15 campaign.
